Sharing two photos from a week in Paradise Valley, MT! We went to Yellowstone NP, through Grand Teton NP, did a 2 hr guided horseback ride, got craft coffee in Bozeman, and ate some good stuff!

Also, as a quasi step mom (50% of the time), this trip was rough in spots. I remember being a kid and complaining about the drive and the “are we there yet?!” questions every 15 mins, but we didnt have devices and near constant cell service. For the last 5 hrs of this trip I had no more patience, I had “ungrateful punks” in my head, I had zero capacity to answer questions. When we returned, I told my boyfriend I’m never doing that again and cried. (I’m okay today!) To everyone who is a parent, you are amazing and saintly and your kids will appreciate you more and more as they age.

ANYWAY. So ready for the challenge and some recentering and the love of this community!

Hi Fam!

I had posted early to see if any fam members would be in Berlin the same time as me and a few wanted some pictures of my trip! I was quite nervous traveling mostly solo because I didn’t know what to expect. I did a lot of tours and I put myself out there to try new things. Plus I had a nifty guide from a close friend too! I got over 16k steps a day while I was there and of course I did some M/BODY videos at the hotel gym too. Berlin is a great city and would like to go back another time!

I’m not sure if anyone else struggles with this, but I need to know…I find that I really struggle to make it through the moves in a lot of these workouts, if that makes sense? For example, Marnie will start a 3x8 move set or something with a deep squat and ask us to hold it and I find it so challenging. I either lack the willpower or my body physically hurts, and I can’t tell if it’s a “push-through-it pain” or a “keep-going-and-you’ll-pull-a-muscle” pain. Anyone relate with this? I’m just in a mental “funk” and could use some wise words maybe. Thanks all 💕✌🏼

I will miss the live tomorrow because we have a baptism. I am a symbolic grandmama ( Hubby and I are 3rd set of "parents" to a young couple who just had a baby....it takes a village ). I will most definitely start the challenge tomorrow evening. Have fun at the live!!!! 😘

Either my cat or dog always ends up next to me for the stretch sequence, idk if it’s because I’m on the ground or if they just love Marnie’s energy 🥹💖

I've just entered my second trimester with my 3rd baby and I'm feeling good enough to get back into working out! Hoping to join others in the same state and make it through the whole thing!! I love that Marnie gives accomodations for pregnancy.

I did the live from Saturday today, and I was reminded of this beautiful poem I grew up with that my grandmother shared with me to help ease the pain of being teased as a child. I was too much, too smart, too loud, too sensitive... you get it. And at times I still think of myself as too much and feel tempted to hide myself out of fear that people won't like me or give me a chance. I hope these words can bring someone a sense of relief as it did for myself. 

Looking forward to the Summer Challenge this Saturday! Are there anyways you are getting prepared?? I'm cheering you all on all. <3

Take of yourselves and one another!

During our barre series in a 60 min signature Marnie brought up, "with challenge comes change." 

Maybe it's not the challenge that one is afraid of but the change... challenge is logical, practical, and it makes sense. You can work towards it, build up to it, and practice it. But the change symbolizes something greater, it can be emotional... 

Who am I on the other side of challenge? What does it look like? What does it feel like? How do I accomplish it? Is okay to not be the same if I meet that challenge? Will I be okay, is this type of change good, true, and respectful to my body? What would it mean? Because life has meaning,  I mean something... my life has meaning. 

Maybe I'll meet who I'm meant to become on the other side of challenge... A version of me that faces fear with grace...that recognizes the fear but chooses to not be afraid because truth and love guide the way. 

I know my body can complete those last 4 sets of 8, but it challenges my mind & emotions to break old habits and accept the truth that I can do this with grace. Maybe that's the change we shall find when we meet a challenge we understand we are capable of.

Love Jessi G. ❤️
